Well…it was a long day yesterday and I already updated you about the interview so I won’t do that again here…one good thing that happened was that the furnace in the unit above me stopped making the howling noise that it has been making for the past year…I can even sleep without ear plugs again…and with the constant background noise being gone, my place seem peaceful again….slept okay last night but was up at 5:30 again…not going to complain about that, though, since I really don’t have anything to do today but stuff around here and that means this aft will be a prime nap time while the Wings alumni games are on…I do have the other front wheel bearing going bad…started last night…but I won’t fix that until next month since I want to keep the record of only 20 bucks for an entire year of car repairs….not much to do today…I guess the only thing I really need to do is 2 more of these to make the goal for the year so there is going to be some filler….just being honest…more later…
Just an update…
Well…did the interview this morning and it was a little confusing to say the least…the folks that were doing the interview just sat there like lumps and really didn’t have any pertinent questions to ask…I tried to draw them out with comments that should have steered them to the questions but no luck…and then, at the end of the interview, they basically said that they wanted an engineer with an engineering degree…so, why the heck did they call me and waste my time? Oh, well…it was okay to get out and have an interview for the first time in a long while…and I got to wear my suit and looked good….oh, well…
December 30th
Well..it was just another boring day yesterday that I spent prepping for the interview this morning…have to be there in an hour and a half so this one is going to be short…slept for crap last night but I expected it so no surprise….the furnace in the unit above has stopped making the howling noise it has been doing for the past year and it is just weird that it is quiet…might even be able to not wear earplugs anymore….other than the interview, not much to do today…going to stop at the grocery store to pick up cocktail materials for the Griffins game outdoor tonight and have some relaxation…more later…
Just some stuff….
Well..just remembered that I need to do two of these today but almost forgot….have been doing prep for the interview all day and am just about done…so, I thought I’d comment on a new article from the NY Times that basically says that everything that the Obama administration has said about Benghazi was true….not in the fever dreams of the right, of course, but all of the eyewitnesses who were interviewed said the same thing,,,that it was not an al Queada attack…it was a bunch of pissed off Libyans who were attacking because of blasphemy to Islam of some such nonsense….but, ole Issa just couldn’t believe it and went on the sunday shows saying it was still all lies…yadda, yadda…yeah, so we’re going to believe an arsonist, high school dropout and not the NY Times? Not me…Issa is just a waste of space that is wasting our money, too…geez…
December 29th
Well….it was another boring day yesterday and I didn’t do much but wash the car and run some errands…didn’t sleep well at all and again, not sure I need to talk about that….I did get to watch a lot of hockey and the start of the Michigan game but didn’t make it very far since the thing didn’t start until almost 10:30….and, what I did see, looked pretty poor…haven’t seen the score yet but I’m sure it was a bad loss…I do need to do some interview prep today but that is going to wait while I get the brain working with coffee and couch….not much to do today…just Lions and prep so it looks like another boring day…it was nice to have some of the snow melt yesterday but the temp has already started to fall with highs in the teens for the early part of the week…I am really tired of the cold and snow and we have 2 1/2 more months to go…more later…
Just one filler?
Well…just realized that I fell another one behind yesterday so I do need to do a filler since tomorrow will be taken up by interview prep and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to do more than two…I did get the chance to wash the car today and put the top down running some errands which was fun…didn’t get anything else done, though, so that is a little depressing….man, just can’t think of anything to say right now….maybe in a little while…
Maybe some sports?
Well…still struggling with topics so I think I may just do one on some sports…maybe that will get my head cleared up a little…I do like the outdoor hockey that is going on in Detroit over the next few days…watched the GLI yesterday and it looked like they were having fun…the ice doesn’t look too good, though, and Michigan lost so they are playing in the third place game in a while that should be fun since they are playing State…and, the world junior tournament is going on this week, too and the US is in first place in their group…and Canada just lost in a shoot out..normally, I will root for the Canucks but not when we play them…the Wings have been pretty stinky lately but with Hank coming back tonight, it might be fun to watch…they need to start stringing together some wins or they might not make the playoffs for the first time since I have been following them….then, we have Michigan playing in their bowl game tonight, but what the heck is with the 10:15 start? Feels like one of the west coast swings that the Wings used to do and I’m sure I won’t make it through it…it is a cocktail night, after all….more later…
December 28th
Well…it was a long day yesterday and I lost at pool for the 6th week in a row so that was not good…but okay…slept okay last night but the cocktails last night were a bit much and I feel a little crappy today…okay, maybe I didn’t sleep too well…I am really tired still so I guess it wasn’t as good as I think…didn’t do much after I got back here as you can see so I’ve gone farther behind and need to get it done today….part of the tiredness is the fact that I haven’t gotten the calorie intake right without being on the bike…I think I was under 1,000 cals yesterday and that is not enough…not much to do today..going to do laundry but that is about it…more later…
December 27th
Well…it was just another normal day yesterday…didn’t do much and slept okay…but now that I sit here and think, I really don’t remember much about the day….didn’t even clean at all and it looks like that won’t happen again today…since it is pool day and I’m just not motivated to start a project this morning…I do need to take some ibuprofen in a couple of minutes since my elbow seems to be getting worse again…and I have other random pains that are annoying me…not much to do today..pool, but then not much else will probably just veg with the tv later and then go to bed early from boredom as usual….maybe something exciting will happen to change that but I’m not holding my breath….more later…
Maybe things are looking up…
Well…with the drought of news that has been plaguing me for the past couple of weeks, I am still struggling for topics…probably as I should be after doing almost 2800 of these….but, today…I may just do this one on the glimmers of hope that I see on the job front..there have been many more positions to apply for and I even have an interview for Monday…that, in itself, is cause for some sort of celebration but I am tempering all of this with the fact that once they see me, there will be no chance of getting the job…they just aren’t going to hire someone my age….but, the interview should be fun….but, as I said before, it will mean less fun for me for the next couple of weeks until I find out whether the job happens…probably do me some good to take it easy for a few days…I do need to continue to send resumes until then but I think I’ll take today off and continue tomorrow…maybe even try to get caught up here since a job will crimp my time here some…would be nice to relieve some of the boredom, though…
